We build devices, algorithms, and software methods for MRI, phase-contrast x-ray, mammography, CT, PET, SPECT, and fluorescence imaging to address diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease and various forms of cancer. MIRC distributes shared tools such as the IIT Brain Atlas and the IIT 3D Breast Lesion Model.

In addition, MIRC is home to a significant spin-off project on crime prediction (“predictive policing”), in which MIRC has developed algorithms in use at the Chicago Police Department, inspired by technical concepts from medical imaging and image analysis.
